hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sam lister, deputy political editor of the daily express and broadcaster, david davies. good to have you both back with us. tomorrow's front pages, for those of you watching at home and have not seen earlier editions of the review, we start with the daily mail. "fiver a week to fix care crisis" is the headline on tomorrow's daily mail. the paper says that's how much extra money a typical worker will have to pay to fund new social care plans in england. the paper describes the governments plans as "manifesto—busting tax raid" to "bail out the nhs and fix social care". the guardian reports that borisjohnson will tell mps the health care system is in crisis and cannot be expected to recover alone. the prime minister faces growing rebellion over

potential rises to tax, ahead of tomorrow's announcement. according to the telegraph, the prime minister is expected to reveal that national insurance will be increased by around 1.25%, in a move that could generate £10 billion for the nhs — the paper says this will first be used to tackle the nhs backlog caused by the pandemic, before funding social care. "revealed: plans for octoberfirebreak" reads the headline on the i — a senior government scientist has told the paper of potential government plans for an extended half term holiday and potential restrictions in england, to tackle rising hospital cases of covid. the times reports on warnings from the home secretary to france, to "stop migrants" entering the uk or pay the price. the paper claims that tonight, priti patel has told mps she is ready to withhold millions

of pounds promised to the french to block migrant crossings after a record number of people were estimated to have landed on british shores today. on the front page of the metro — a woman who's won £180,000 in a landmarkjudgment, after she claimed her boss refused to let her work flexibly. now i said i would give david a good run for his money this time because he was struggling against technology last half. david, i hope you are in full voice — let's kick off with the telegraph.

telegraph talks about tories condemning the tax rise sham, a reference to a former leader, iain duncan smith, who basicallyjust said the reforms are not fundamentally enough. and you understand what he says that, because despite the sex of efforts by successive governments, it seems everybody agrees isn't sustainable —— successive efforts. but nobody can find a solution, even after borisjohnson can find a solution, even after boris johnson stood can find a solution, even after borisjohnson stood on the pavement outside downing street and said this is effectively going to be his number one priority and he'll get it done, along with brexit. while it seems it'll be very difficult to get it done this time, even with the money that'll come in with a proposal he's bringing forward, cutting the waiting list will, i had of putting the social care problem

subjects where a prime minister can say, "i have the potential to make a genuinely ground—breaking difference to do something new," and we talked in the last review about the structure of social care being about local authorities — borisjohnson conceivably, however unconservative it might be to centralise, but he could end up doing something as fun or mentally be ground—breaking with his name on it. all politicians are vain, just like all presenters are vain. but grand projects are often quite difficult to pull off. conceivably this when he could pull off, because you could say the argument has been one, most people — you'll never get everybody, but most people seem to accept there's a problem and something must be done about it. so that half of the intellectual argument is done, it's more about who pays and how you pay. but he can get over that, that'll be

have known before in our lifetimes, and well beyond it. but i think yes, admitting that it's no surprise, saying the nhs is in crisis is like saying the nhs is in crisis is like saying morale at the bbc is low. morale at the bbc it has always been meant to be low, and i remember when it was rather high in times gone by. but the crisis in the nhs and the problems of the cost of the nhs — no one really knows what that will be in 10-30 one really knows what that will be in 10—30 years time if we go on as we are. in 10-30 years time if we go on as we are. ., we are. david, revealed the plans for an october _ we are. david, revealed the plans for an october fire _ we are. david, revealed the plans for an october fire break. - we are. david, revealed the plans for an october fire break. just - we are. david, revealed the plans l for an october fire break. just when you thought it was safe to go into the high street, at the swanepoel are off to see your favourite band over the weekend?—

priti patel is crossed with the french. that is effectively what the story is about, and she's asking for payment by results. one of the problems still seems to me is that it's not entirely clear what the french are expected to do about this. are they expected to have a barricade of boats across the channel, many more votes than we have? what is the 50 and ea million that hasn't been paid —— 5a million quid actually for them to do? and i think this is the sort of thing that does make tory mps... and priti patel is under a lot of pressure, i think. �* patel is under a lot of pressure, i think. . �* , ., ., patel is under a lot of pressure, i think. . �*, ., ., , ., think. and it's not a problem that will no think. and it's not a problem that will go away. _ think. and it's not a problem that will go away. by _ think. and it's not a problem that will go away. by any _ think. and it's not a problem that will go away, by any means, - think. and it's not a problem that will go away, by any means, and| will go away, by any means, and arguably not one of consequences of

that's it for the papers tonight. hello, good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your latest sports news. emma raducanu's remarkable run at the us open continues — she's through to her first grand slam quarterfinal, after easing past home favourite shelby rogers in new york. raducanu was broken in her opening service game. but after going 2—0 down, she broke back — and didn't look back either, winning six games in a row to win the first set 6—2. and her dominance didn't stop there — raducanu winning a further five games in a row in the second set to put her on the verge of victory. the 18—year—old served it out, winning the second set

6—1 injust 29 minutes, and will play the olympic champion belinda bencic for a place in the semi finals. europe have retained golf�*s solheim cup after a thrilling final day of singles in ohio. rookie matilda castren beat lizette salas to claim the crucial 1ath point they needed to beat the usa and against the odds retain the trophy. england's batting disintegrated at the oval today, as an inspired performance from india's bowlers saw them take ten wickets on the final day and win the fourth test by 157 runs to go 2—1 up in the series. england resumed on 77 without loss, chasing 368 to win. they lost two wickets in the morning session, rory burns reached 50, but was out next ball. his fellow opener, haseeb hameed, made 63 — but when he fell after lunch, that sparked a mini collapse that really knocked

the stuffing out of england. they lost four wickets forjust six runs. ollie pope and johnny bairstow fell to the brilliant jasprit bumrah. joe root briefly stopped the rot, but once he'd been removed, india mopped up the tail. anderson the last to go, england all out for 210. india's tails are up as they head to the final test at old trafford that starts on friday. first time that we've not managed to get something from the game. i think we've played some good stuff throughout the last five days, and the position we got ourselves into coming into today, you'd expect us to walk away with at least a draw. and it is frustrating that we're stood here having lost the test match, but i think credit has to go to india, jasper in particular. that spell after lunch there was what really turned the game and, you know, i think we look at that as something that we can manage better moving forward. but i also think we've got to look

at the whole test match and other areas where we could have been a bit more ruthless and a bit more clinical. we love being written off, and i think a lot of people really stood up and said, can india really come back? we have shown time and again that we have a top side, and we have been a top side for a while now, and that is because of the passion we have in the group, and it's been as special, if not more, than lords. it's been a paralympics to rememberfor britain. they came second in the medals table in tokyo, with a remarkable a1 golds, and a number of the team have arrived back home this evening. gb won 12a medals, including a1 golds, to finish second in the medal table behind china. some of the athletes arrived at heathrow airport to a raucous welcome. one of those was gold medallist and paralympic gb's flag bearer for the closing ceremony, david smith. it feels great. this is by far the best homecoming i've ever had. i think after rio, we came back — because we were so long

getting off the plane, it felt like there was nobody here. so this is amazing, i'm really chuffed. and the flight was really good, and it went well, and obviously the closing ceremony was great. so pretty tired, but really pretty positive, and it was a fantastic experience. great welcome there for paralympicsgb. argentina have released aston villa players emiliano martinez and emiliano buendia from international duty, following the chaotic scenes which led to the world cup qualifier between brazil and argentina being abandoned last night. brazilian health officials walked onto the pitch in sao paulo and confronted tee uk—based argentina players who they say have broken quarantine rules. martinez was one of those, while buendia was in the stands. both are returning to europe and expected to serve ten days' quarantine in croatia before returning to their club. the two other players, tottenham's giovani lo celso and cristiano romero, are set to stay in the argentina camp for the match against bolivia on friday. valtteri bottas will leave mercedes at the end of the year

and move to alfa romeo, which should see george russell move from williams to become lewis hamilton's new partner from 2022. after five seasons at mercedes alongside hamilton, bottas will replace kimi raikkonen at alfa romeo, who is retiring from formula one at the end of the year. we all knew it was highly likely that george russell will replace valtteri bottas, and that valtteri bottas was looking for a seat. and, as time went on through this season, it became clear that alfa romeo was to become his destination. it's nice that they have been able to make it an official announcement today, and that alfa romeo have been able to unveil their new asset. but i think everyone saw it coming. and it's exciting times everyone with this big move that is happening in f1. there's a surprise new leader at the tour of britain, thanks to the best day's work of his career from american

rider robin carpenter. carpenter made a solo bid for the stage win on dartmoor, and held off the chasing peloton all the way to the finish in exeter, winning stage two and taking the overall lead by 22 seconds. the race finishes in aberdeen on sunday. and that's all your sport for now. there's more reaction to your europe's win at the solheim cup over at the bbc news website. but from me and the team, that's all for now. goodnight. well, the warm southerly winds have arrived and a dose of summer heat is on the way. but it's not going to last very long. yes, a very warm and sunny tuesday on the way, but from wednesday onwards, late on wednesday, we could have thunderstorms in the southwest of the uk brought by this area of low pressure. but for the time being, high pressure over us, notjust over the uk but much of europe. and here's that warm air coming in from the south, spreading across the uk.

so the early hours looks pretty quiet across much of the country. there will be some mist and fog forming, maybe northern wales, merseyside, lancashire. and mild, if not quite warm, 15—17 celsius around dawn. and the temperatures will quickly skyrocket as we go through the morning and into the afternoon. now, it's going to be sunshine pretty much all around, although across some far northwestern parts of the country, it could be a little hazy and cloudy. much cooler in stornoway, 18 celsius, but the mid—20s for the lowlands of scotland, 27 for yorkshire, 30 possible in the midlands. and if we do get 30, which we are very likely to get 30, it will be the hottest day since 23 july, after a relatively cool august, because the temperatures never really got that high during august — a little unusual. so this is what it looks like on wednesday, the weather map. you can see a low pressure approaching us, weather fronts here too. these are showers and thunderstorms
